They have such fun names and they all smell very delicious, my favourite would have to be the Mango and Papaya, very fruity.   I bought the Java Lather for hubby to help wake him up in the morning, smells like real coffee!!

Rimmel London Apocalips Lip Lacquer ~ Nova, Luna & Galaxy

NOVA ~ LUNA ~ GALAXY
matillysthisnthat.blogspot.com.au

Apocalips would have to be my favourite lip lacquers because they stay rich and full of colour on your lips for a long time.  Non-sticky, glossy, highly pigmented opaque colour. The only fault I can find it they tend to travel and I need to wear lip pencil so the lacquer doesn't spread into my skin.

POP Love Palette ~ Purple

Comes in a very cute magnetic flat case, just the right size to POP into your cosmetics bag, has everything you need for eyes and contouring.

Sparkle, Shimmer & Matte Shades for eyes and face.  I haven't tried this palette yet so can't tell you what it's like or the staying power, I must admit I bought it because it's full of my favourite colours.  If I like this palette I will do a more in-depth review with swatches.

Bourjois Limited Edition Vintage Blusher ~ Rose Amber & Rose Brune

www.asos.com.au

Gorgeous limited edition pots of colour.  Finely milled, highly pigmented, domed blush, I'm really glad I bought both these shades, they are beautiful.  Sheer application but buildable for more depth of colour.

Rose Amber & Rose Brune

Bourjois Bronzing Powder ~ Chocolate scented

www.asos.com.au

Highly pigmented matte bronzer,  cute packaging, magnetic lid which reveals four pieces of chocolate bronzer, smells like cocoa and vanilla, I keep opening it and sniffing.  Goes on sheer which is great for fair skin like mine but is buildable for darker contouring.

Korres Lip Butter ~ Jasmine

www.asos.com.au

Another moisturising and non-sticky glossy lip butter, Jasmine is very sheer and there was no hint of colour on my lips.

Korres Mandarin Lip Butter ~ Pink

matillysthisnthat.blogspot.com.au

Contains Mandarin oil, I was disappointed that there was no aroma of mandarins, one of my favourite oils. This is very sheer, even though it's pink there is no colour on the lips. Very moisturising, non-sticky formula, slight pleasant aroma.

SteamCream 3 in 1 Moisturiser ~ Blumen

SteamCream was originally the sister company of LUSH.  SteamCream hand make this luscious moisturiser using high quality natural ingredients and fuse it all together with a shot of steam.  Lovely light weight formula which is surprising moisturising, can be used on your face and body. They are packaged in a range of limited edition collectors tins and they all look gorgeous, you can find out more about them here.

I also bought myself a lovely woollen blend, fully lined, grey swing duffel coat with hood for the winter.

I was very pleased with everything I purchased.  My parcel arrived within 4 days of ordering and everything was packed very carefully.  I was able to get hold of some goodies that aren't readily available in Australia and I was extremely happy with the coat because it was reduced down from $127.56 to $76.54.

I would love to hear what you think please leave a comment below.

Everyday Nude makeup

I thought I would share with you some of the nude everyday makeup I wear to work.  I wear a minimal amount of makeup because I am outside but I still want that healthy glow.

matillysthisnthat.blogspot.com.au

I don't have a lot of time in the morning as I am up at 4.30am most days, I really don't want to be applying lots of makeup in the wee hours but I still want to look good!

Olay CC Cream - Total Effects Tone Correcting Moisturiser with Sunscreen. - Light /Medium.  This is a sheer tinted moisturiser that claims to fight the 7 signs of ageing.   Gives me just enough colour to even out my skintone, moisturises, protects and adds a healthy glow.

Bourjois Paris Healthy Balance compact powder - Vanilla.  A very finely milled finishing powder, enriched with asian fruit extracts.  This powder is so nice, sets your foundation without collecting in your pores or drying your skin, no cakiness at all.  You hardly feel like you have this on but it removes any shine around your forehead, nose and chin.   Has a lovely fruity aroma I really like this one, great for touch ups during the day.

 Maybelline Color Tattoo - Bad to the Bronze.  Gorgeous eyeshadow that you can wear all over your eye area, just apply heavier to the lid and then blend out.  Lasts all day with no creasing.

These are the three brushes I have been carrying around in my little pink bunny here, they all do a terrific job, the Real Techniques brush is excellent for blending out the Color Tattoo eye shadow.

(l-r):   Real Techniques - deluxe crease brush ~  Wotnot eyeshadow brush ~  MUA - F4 powder brush.

MUA Pro's Every Lash Waterproof mascara - Black.  This is my favourite mascara from the MUA range, it separates all my lashes beautifully with a minimum of fuss.  This mascara actually performs as described, the first coat lengthens and the second coat adds volume.  No clumping, no panda eyes and no flaking.

REVLON JUST BITTEN KISSABLE BALM - Precious.  These are my favourite chubby crayon lip balms.  They have a moisturising stay-put formula, the colour is buildable the more you apply.

Precious starts out Nude on the lips but becomes pinker the more you apply.  Even when the gloss has worn off there is still a blush of pink stain on your lips.

OK so that's one of my day looks and some of the products I have been loving at the moment.  What do you like to wear during the day and what are some of your favourites?  Please comment below I would love to hear from you.
